Hailing from Richmond, VA home of legends Lamb of God, Affasia bring their new album Adrift In Remorse to the fore.
Songs such as Another Host and Dissolute build on dark themes, the music is haunting and sometimes downright terrifying. It takes sharp turns and moves with the music and the melodies. A sharp contrast to what comes next.
Brittle Sentiment is a pounding riff charged song that carries the band from one plain to a far higher one and ensures that the listener is kept hooked. As You Never Were is dark, gruelling and moody, the guitars and the rhythm section allow the vocals to cast a tale of woe and sorrow.
The album is out now via Transcending Records.
